Cross-References between Assembly Elements

Text Types to Display Cross-References between Assembly Elements

It is possible to define a cross-reference for the elements of an assembly in the schematic.

 

The following new text types are available. These can be defined when editing symbols in DBE.

• #1097 - Reference to assembly master

• #1098 - Reference to assembly slave

 

When several slaves exist, the references are displayed one below the other as text type contents.

 

See example:

 

Defining Master Components in Database

When editing an assembly in the database, it is possible to define a component as assembly master.

 

 

To do so, select the desired component, open the Component Properties - Assembly dialog using the context menu and check the Component is master of assembly option.

 

This master definition is valid only for the components of this assembly. A reference via several, nested assemblies is not possible.

 

 

Defining Master Devices in Project

In project mode, it is also possible to define a component as master.

 

 

Select the desired assembly element, open the Device Properties - Device dialog using the context menu and check the Device is master of assembly option.
